Veterans Create Workshops Set at Art Center

Coachella Valley Art Center to Host VETERANS CREATE WORKSHOPS

INDIO — VETERANS CREATE Workshops are no-cost opportunities offered to military veterans living in the Coachella Valley.

These workshops have been designed to be opportunities for Veterans to make use of their unique individual creative talents.  VETERANS CREATE is not meant to be art therapy, even though creating can be personally therapeutic.  VETERANS CREATE offers opportunities to create in four creative disciplines- Painting, Printmaking (Monoprints), Fused Glass and Glass Blowing.

The Coachella Valley Art Center is based on the premise that using your creativity can benefit your life.

Veterans attending the workshops will be introduced to the basic fundamentals of each discipline. The majority of time will be spent in practicing and interpreting by creating work(s).

Participants will be encouraged to create work using individual imagination and personal experience as inspiration.

The VETERANS CREATE Workshop program has been paid for by a generous individual’s donation.

All supplies will be provided for each workshop.  Individual workshop details will be forwarded after an individual has signed up. The workshops and instructors are:

• PAINTING  – Nov. 1-4, 2021   11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Kim Manfredi Instructor
